research resources

The best teacher is not the one who fills the student’s mind with the largest amount of factual data in a minimum of time, or who develops some manual skill almost to the point of uncanniness, but rather the one who kindles an inner fire, arouses moral enthusiasm, inspires the student with a vision of what she may become, and reveals the worth and permanency of moral and spiritual and cultural values."
– Harold Garnet Black

"Bev Bos' philosophy is simple and is characterized by these developmental education principles: children learn through play, interaction, problem solving, exploration and discovery. Cooperation is more conducive to learning than competition. Children learn best when they can make choices and set their own goals. Each child is unique. Education is an on-going process, which is enhanced when the child, teacher and family work together."

    These are some resources that can assist in the field of Early childhood. They can even assist teachers that are already teaching grade schools students.

Childhood Stressers

In the past few years,  my family had a lot of financial difficulties,  there was not enough money for bills and food,   I was working between 2 to three jobs,  taking any kind of work that come my way.  Having 2 small boys on top of it was very difficult to manage.    I always needed help to watch them  and was always shuffling them around from place to place.  They had no order no structure and constant chaos, they were always crying and upset  They started to withdraw and struggle in school.  The became very clingy to me.  Their eating habits were terrible.  I had to take better control of the situation.  Thankfully I was able to find more stability in work and able to be available for my children on a constant basis.    They are happy   well adjusted and thriving as a 13, 11 and 8 year old young men. Extreme poverty leads to stunted development, limited future productivity as adults, and inte...

Research Simulation

                             Why is your simulation important to the field of early  childhood? My simulation regarding the difference in quality of early  childhood education between high and low income levels is  important because All children should be afforded the same quality  education no matter what their economic status.  Once we can identify the gaps in quality we can fill the voids and ensure all children are provided the same education.  If you were to conduct your simulation proposal, who would benefit? The simulation will not only benefit the children in low income  areas it can benefit the educators by identifying gaps in the programs so they may be addressed and better programs put into place.   What are some of the ways your perceptions of an early childhood professional have been modified as a result of this course? My percept...

Immunization

According to vaccines.gov safe and effective vaccines have eliminated some diseases like small pox and Polio which in the past have killed thousands of people.  New vaccines are only releases and administered after long and careful research.  Getting vaccinated and following a schedule can protect not only children and adults but also babies who may not be of age to receive certain vaccines. (vaccine.gov). The importance of getting vaccinated against worldwide illnesses before traveling outside the United states is extremely important to protect yourself from diseases we do not have in our country and to ensure not bringing the illness back to our country and causing an epidemic. Pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS and malnutrition are the primary killers of children in the developing world. These children die because they are poor, they do not have access to routine immunization or health services, their diets lack sufficient vitamin A and other essential mic...
